This costume has been on my 'to do' list for over 6 years. I've always loved this version of Psylocke's costume, I lovingly refer to it as the gypsy butterfly. For those who don't know this is Betsy's original costume from when she first takes the name Psylocke and joins the X-men in the 80's.

Since Psylocke’s telepathic signature is the butterfly just had to make a mask.

Costume Construction:

The bodysuit is made from a custom pattern drafted by me. The costume is made from a pink four way stretch spandex and lined with a white spandex. The cut out sections on the waist are inset with a skin tone mesh. The sleeves and leg detail are made from a dark pink chiffon. The cuffs and rectangle appliqués are made from a dark pink suede. The appliqués are satin stitched in place. The wig is cut and styles by me.

Cool way to do the psychic butterfly! You did it in a way that doesn’t mask your own beauty too, which is not an easy thing to pull off when doing anything involving the face in that way. Perfect pose, too! Your take on classic 80’s retro Psylocke is simply gorgeous… the costume, the hair, the emotions you convey in your photos, everything is spot-on. Love it, and must add to my favorites for sure!

Awesome photo collaboration usage with your two different poses and your eyes really bring out the mood in each shot. Your pic looking at the camera really has me captured Nice costume work the pink "butterflies" is a nice effect to the costume.
